From the meeting
At the September 22, 2026 joint meeting, CEDA presented a Community Support Program as a possible replacement for economic development staffing after the current EDA director retires. CEDA said services could include grant writing, project management, business development, housing, annexation planning, and loan fund access, with a possible 90-day hiring timeline after contract execution. No decision was made, and the council agreed to hear West Central Initiative in November before choosing a path.
The staffing change is the trigger for future procurement.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will City of Battle Lake issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Battle Lake's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with City of Battle Lake before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
